Peekskill Man Violated Putnam Woman's Order Of Protection: Sheriff

PUTNAM COUNTY, NY — A Peekskill man accused of incessant attempts to contact a woman with an order of protection against him faces criminal contempt charges in Putnam County.

Putnam Sheriff’s Investigators arrested Dany D. Villa-Carchipulla Feb. 3 at his residence in Peekskill. He is alleged not only to have messaged the victim over 900 times since being issued an order of protection but also to have called her more than 25 times and showed up at her residence on more than one occasion.

Sheriff Kevin J. McConville said Villa-Carchipulla had been arrested in November after a domestic violence incident in Garrison. He was charged with strangulation and endangering the welfare of a child, and an order of protection was put in place to protect the victims.

He was arrested on the newest charges after an investigation was conducted into his continuous violations of the order of protection, McConville said.

Dany was charged with four counts of second-degree criminal contempt and was arraigned in Putnam Valley Town Court. He was sent to the Putnam County Correctional Facility on a $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond.

The victim was assisted by domestic violence advocates and the Women’s Center.
